Former Spain manager Roberto Moreno has released a statement following the return of Luis Enrique and his departure from the team, thanking the players, media and backroom staff but admitting the ordeal is "bitter-sweet."
Marca published the full statement, in which Moreno made it clear he decided to stand down, as he's a man of his word:
"I have a clear conscience. It's impossible to thank everyone, but I [want to] say that I sincerely respect everyone and their opinions. I've always been a man of my word, that I wouldn't stand in Luis Enrique's way if he decided to return to coach.
